Let's say that Trunks didn't show up from the future and he just ran through his natural course of birth. Goku uses instant transmission to appear before Frieza, King Cold and henchmen how would it turn out. As we know, Goku had a fight with Trunks to test his abilities as a Super Saiyan and he blocked all of Trunks attacks with the sword he used to defeat Frieza and henchmen(Blasted King Cold). How would the fight turn out if it was Goku fighting in Trunks place?
I knows! King Cold would have been Majin Buu level upon reaching his next stage. SSJ Vegito on the 4th form. And SSJ4 Gogeta when he went to the "Super Shredder" form Cooler was sporting.
You idiots need to stop with the non-canon play. King Cold never transformed and was never confirmed by Toriyama as being able to transform. Don't give him power he does not have. Stick to the canon sources: he doesn't transform and is far weaker than Frieza much less Mecha Frieza.
Frieza =/= King Cold. They are 2 completely different characters, you see. Just because they are of the same race, doesn't mean every facet of their respective powers must be equal by default (case in point: Goku and Vegeta.)
So really, adding transformations to KC that he was never shown or stated to be capable of using, is just silly. If he could have transformed into a more powerful form, the rule of deduction says he surely would have.
They did in the manga. Even though Frieza stated that he had become more powerful with all his mecha enhancements, the Z fighters sensed that King Cold was still more powerful: http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/148...280412.gif.html
Regardless, it was stated that SSJ Trunks had the exact same power that Goku had on Namek: http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/148...280612.gif.html http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/148...280613.gif.html
And he was still able to kill mecha Frieza and King Cold effortlessly. So even if we assume that Goku's power hadn't increased at all during the year he was training in space, he'd still crush Frieza and his daddy just as easily as Trunks did(like I said.)
So some people are saying because King Cold didn't transform, he couldn't? He was obviously a sneak and as he knew he was stronger than his son, more than likely assumed he didn't need to transform to beat Trunks as long as he took his sword.
But there are 3 of the Planet Killer race. King Cold, Cooler, and Frieza. Frieza has 4 1/2 forms if you count Final Form 100%, Cooler has 5. Are people really assuming King Cold just can't transform at all, even though he looks nearly identical to Frieza Form 2 and both his sons have the capability?
What was Akira thinking when he made someone with the status of Frieza's father such a throwaway character? Should've at least had his own saga or something before moving on to the Android arc.
